Based on detailed Swedish firm-level data provided by Statistics Sweden that combines the innovation survey from 2012 with the s
Different from the short-lived pleasure of hedonic well-being, eudaimonic well-being conceptualizes the often effortful but fulfilling nature of self-actualization. Eudaimonia has recently started to attract attention in entrepreneurship literature because it promises to reflect the specific attributes of entrepreneurial well-being. This study sets out to apply the concept to the context of socia
Uppsatsen undersöker lämpligheten att införa storskalig miljöförstöring, i form av ekocid, som ett femte internationellt brott i Romstadgan för internationella brottmålsdomstolen som antogs i Rom 1998. Undersökningen görs i förhållande till Romstadgans syfte och målsättning och i förhållande till de brott som utgör kärnan av Romstadgan. Kärnbrotten utgörs av folkmord, brott mot mänskligheten, krigThis essay examines the possibility to make environmental destruction an international crime by including ecocide as a fifth crime against peace in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court adopted in Rome in 1998.

Att arbeta hemifrån är på grund av ny teknik ett växande fenomen som blev högaktuellt i och med de statliga rekommendationerna om hemarbete i samband med Covid-19-utbrottet år 2020. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur individer påverkas av att arbeta hemifrån, utifrån gränsteorin om gränshanteringsstrategier och upplevd gränskontroll, samt hur hemarbetet upplevs och vilka strategier som används Working from home is a growing phenomenon due to technical advances, that became highly topical with the 2020 Covid-19 virus outbreak and the government's recommendations on telework that followed. The study aims to investigate how people are affected by working from home, based on the border theory on border management strategies and perceived border control, as well as how they perceive wor
Studien syftar till att undersöka ett flertal psykologiska konstrukt relaterade till Browns (2015) teori om ett helhjärtat liv. Specifikt undersöktes samband mellan autenticitet, dynamiskt mindset, skam, och self-compassion genom korrelationsanalys och multipel regressionsanalys. Datan samlades in med hjälp av en enkätundersökning (N=168). Resultatet visade på ett stark positivt samband mellan selThe study aimed to empirically investigate psychological constructs related to Browns (2015) theory on whole-hearted living. Specifically, the relationship between self-compassion and authenticity, growth mindset and shame were analysed with correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The data was collected through an online survey (N=168). The result showed a strong positive relationsh
This study focuses on the topic of education and economic growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between education and economic growth amongst the OECD member countries. What sets this study apart from a lot of the research is the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative measures of education. This is done by using theory and previous research as a foundation to con
As a result of globalization and postmodern confusion, simple place-based identities may be becoming obsolete. Malmö Finns, on the other hand, are part of a thousand-year-old tradition of migration from Finland to Sweden and a long history of in-betweenness. Inspired by phenomenological approaches to geography, this thesis explores the mental landscapes of Malmö Finns and aims to understand how th
Harm reduction as a response to drug problems has long been considered controversial in Sweden, among other countries. The term has therefore rarely been used in official Swedish documents. However, harm reduction in the neighboring country, Denmark, has in contrast to Sweden, not encountered the same degree of resistance. The aim of this study was, based on this difference, along with advances in
Today’s construction industry has an enormous pressure on its shoulders the request is high and the resources too low. Companies are therefore forced to reduce the time for each project, and as a result important parts for the security of the project don’t get enough time. In a short period of time a lot of things needs to be done, and by this, the risk management and the work with risk analysis d
The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a
Previous research suggests that by examining the regional origins of revenues and the expected economic growth in regions, supra-normal returns may be achieved by creating zero investment portfolios. Nevertheless, such previous research examines countries with low export dependence and a high internal demand or uses data from a number of countries with di↵erent economic dependencies. The purpose o
Policy targeting the integration of cross-border regional innovation systems (CBRIS) plays a crucial role in terms of reaching the European Union’s cohesion goals. So far, little research has been done on how policy structures shape the integration of cross-border regional innovation systems. Applying Rogge and Reichardt’s (2016) policy mix for sustainability transitions concept to a cross-border
Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. The outcome of these interactions strongly depend on the initial conditions of the i
Urban development projects of a complex nature with many involved project participants are becoming increasingly common in the construction sector. The projects are often part of cities' investments in urban growth. The aim is often to create added value for large areas in the cities. Tight schedule allowance minimum mistakes. High project cost and usually many involving project participants d
Att dika skogar till förmån för bland annat bättre tillväxt kan påverka och förändra faktorer som marktemperatur och markfuktighet vilka är de viktigaste faktorerna för markrespirationen och flödet av koldioxid till atmosfären. Markrespirationen svarar för huvuddelen av koldioxidflödet till atmosfären från ett markbundet ekosystem. Koldioxid är en viktig växthusgas och små förändringar av flödet kDitching forests in favor of for example better tree growth can affect and change factors such as soil temperature and soil moisture. Those are the most important factors for soil respiration and the flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The soil respiration accounts for the major flux of CO2 to the atmosphere from the terrestrial ecosystem. CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and small
Sammanfattning Människohandel är en cynisk handel med möjlighet för förövarna att tjäna stora pengar. Risken att bli lagförd är relativt liten och straffen är förhållandevis låga. De stora orättvisorna i världen gör de utsatta människorna, främst kvinnor och barn, till ett lätt byte i denna industri. Visst finns möjligheten att tränga bort tanken att det skulle beröra oss, men den bittra sanningenSummary Human trafficking is a cynical trading with the opportunity for offenders to make big money. The risk to be tried in court is relatively small, and the penalty is relatively low. The vulnerable people in an unjust world, mainly women and children, become easy pray in this industry. We can pretend that this is not of our concern, but the bitter truth is the opposite. It is here, in the rich
The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which the composition of the board of directors determines directors’ remuneration in Swedish listed companies. The method approach is quantitative and deductive and a multiple linear regression model analyzes the panel data. The theoretical framework consists of previous research on board compensation and theories such as agency theory, re
By the investigation of pollution induced community tolerance (PICT), this study aimed at elucidating whether or not ionic silver (Ag+) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) differ in toxic mode of action. Specifically, bacterial communities in natural water underwent a 6, 7 or 14 day selection for tolerance to Ag+ or citrate-coated 20 nm AgNPs. Bacterial protein synthesis was measured by [3H]-leucine i
